As evening fell, the sun's rays shone through the palace's glass windows and gaps, illuminating the interior of the palace.
When Bai Zhe and his two companions returned from the street, they found that Oskoia was still discussing matters with his ministers.
However, upon seeing Bai Zhe, these people all hurriedly lowered their heads, revealing expressions of fear.
Seeing this, Bai Zhe didn't care about these people's reactions, since he didn't need to deal with them anyway.
After giving the fruit to the girl, he prepared to leave with Mordred and Celestina.
But at that moment, Tristan, who had been lying on the ground with his head close to Oskoia, suddenly let out a threatening hiss from his throat and then stood up.
The dragons present flapped their wings and let out terrifying roars.
Immediately afterwards, a group of fully armed people wielding wands made of Plutostone burst through the door.
As soon as she entered, Oskoia, who had moved a red carpet chair with gold trim, sat down in the original throne position and gestured wildly, saying, "That old man is dead. The throne should be ours. Why should a woman like you sit on it?"
Upon seeing this, the assembled officials were immediately enraged and rebuked the newcomer, saying, "Shut up, Your Highness! His Majesty Oskoia has expelled the incompetent former king and is protected by the Holy Dragon. It is only right that he rules Sheplon!"
As the crowd's rebukes subsided, the evil dragons inside the palace stirred, almost vying to open their blood-red maws and bite at the people who had broken in.
A bloody massacre took place in the solemn royal palace. In almost half a minute, hundreds of people were devoured by the evil dragon, leaving only pools of blood on the ground as proof that these people had been there.
As for the Netherworld Stones brought by these people, they were completely unable to control the evil dragon created by Bai Zhe using his power!
The stench of blood made Mordred, with her keen sense of smell, cover her mouth and nose in disgust. Then, a fire spell flew from her hand and began to burn the blood on the ground.
At the same time, Bai Zhe asked his ministers, "Are these people the sons of the former king?"
As the Demon King finished speaking, the person closest to him was pushed back, trembling like a sieve as he humbly replied, "N-no, that's right."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe looked at the black-haired girl on the throne and asked her, "What are your thoughts, Oskoia?"
Having witnessed what had just happened, Oskoia, who felt that there might still be fools among the descendants of the former king, said that for the sake of his throne and the future stability of the Kingdom of Sheplon, he had no choice but to sacrifice these people.
"It's all up to you."
"Shut these people up forever."
"understand!"
As night fell, the entire capital was placed under curfew, although the curfew was strongly opposed by some ignorant nobles and people in the red-light district.
However, because Oskoia had taken out nearly one-tenth of its national treasury, these people were met only with the curses and spittle of the troops temporarily dispatched from all over the capital by magic ships.
Immediately afterwards, when the holy dragon, nearly twenty meters long, led hundreds of evil dragons, each over seven meters long, hovered over the capital, the entire capital fell into complete silence amidst immense panic.
Everyone kept their doors and windows locked, either hiding in what they considered safe places or behind doors and windows, peeking through the cracks at the army's movements on the streets outside, fearing that these brutal troops and the evil dragons in the sky might suddenly break in!
That evening, many people peeked through the cracks in the doors and windows and saw the once arrogant nobleman being dragged on the ground like a dead dog by the army, leaving long trails of blood.
Although many people feel good about this, fear still inevitably arises in their hearts.
Because in these people's minds, even nobles have fallen to this state, so if it were commoners like them, their fate would probably be even worse!
Because of this fear, very few people in the entire capital slept that night.
It wasn't until dawn that this bloody purge was temporarily over, and the sunlight dispelled the gloom in people's hearts.
Even the bloodstains on the streets were washed away completely by the army with water. Apart from the faint smell of blood in the air, no one could tell what kind of tragedy this capital city, which had stood for less than a thousand years, had experienced last night.
Inside the palace, Bai Zhe, sitting up from the bed, gently stroked the hair of the dragon girl who was fast asleep in his arms, and asked Oskoia, who was tidying her hair with the help of Celestina after receiving a report from her maid:
"How are things going?"
Upon hearing this, the black-haired girl looked at the documents the maid handed her and slowly said, "King Zacharias III has too many children. Even the princes residing in the capital couldn't possibly handle them all in just one night..."
After she finished speaking, the girl asked Bai Zhe, "By the way, are you interested in those princesses who don't have the right to inherit the throne? There are princesses who are older than me and princesses who are younger than me. Although they are descendants of Zacharias III, they are all outstanding in appearance."
"unnecessary."
Oskoia, however, had reservations about Bai Zhe's answer.
“Is that so? Then let all these people work in the palace. If you become interested one day, or if neither I nor Serestina are available, you can have them keep you company.”
She had very little affection for her brothers and sisters.
In the past, she saw these people as stumbling blocks on her path, but now that she has seized the throne, they have become toys in her eyes to make Bai Zhe like her more!
As for whether Bai Zhe will fall in love with her after favoring these princesses,
Oskoia firmly believes this is impossible!
Did he remain unmoved when Veronica offered herself to him in the Kingdom of Knights?
Even the only maid she has by her side is a little maid, and two of them in version 5.0 are not even professionals!
All of this is enough to prove that this man only pays attention to those who are interested in him.
But where exactly did Bai Zhe find interesting? This question not only puzzled her, but also Veronica and the other girls!
Bai Zhe neither agreed nor disagreed with the girl's suggestion, but instead brought up another issue.
"As you wish."
"Those who escaped, or those who are not in the capital, can you handle them too?"
"Of course it's no problem."
The girl clearly took this as a test of her abilities by Bai Zhe!
Just then, Mordred suddenly opened her eyes and received a telepathic message from the little dragon left behind in the Kingdom of Knights.
On its way to the royal palace, the Holy Grail was attacked by a magical society called Demiurge.
Chapter Fifty-Six: As expected of His Majesty the Underworld Dragon King! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers!)
The so-called Demiurges is actually a magical society founded by a group of survivors of the destroyed Alvarez Grail Knights.
The leader of this magical society is Ash and Linda's father, and he is the head of the Seven Winged Generals, who are comparable to the Celestial Dragon Paladins.
The so-called Holy Grail is the name given to the descendants of the saint Rosamaria. Anyone who possesses this bloodline has the ability to tame any dragon.
However, their existence is not recognized by the Esparta Sanctuary, so for a long time, those who possess the Holy Grail bloodline have been stigmatized as heretics by the Esparta Sanctuary and have been relentlessly hunted down!
Ash and Linda's father joined Demiurge to protect his family from the Inquisitors.
Even after witnessing the Church's cruel methods, he vowed to use the power of the Wise Dragon King to cleanse the world distorted by religion.
As for the Temple of Esparda, it was nothing more than a theocracy founded by a motley crew of opportunists and fame-seekers. In the past, they even made Rosama 28 a saint in order to spread their religion, and after her death, they even hunted down her descendants.
This theocracy will stop at nothing to gain power!
The Holy Kingdom's actions began to slow down after it wiped out the Knights who guarded the Holy Grail bloodline ten years ago.
The only remaining Holy Grail bloodline in the world today belongs to Ash and Linda!
Therefore, Bai Zhe was not flustered at all after receiving news that Linda had been attacked by Demiurge on her way to the Knights' capital.
The man who joined this magical society to protect his family would never harm his flesh and blood.
The reason he had the magic society attack the girl was probably to hide Linda in a safe place amidst the turbulent currents, thereby protecting the girl.
but...
"They dared to touch my things. It seems it's time to clean up this magic society."
As he spoke, Bai Zhe got out of bed and put on the clothes that had been thrown on the floor the night before.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Zhe took out a gold coin, placed it in Oskoia's hand, and instructed her:
“Take this Rhine coin. It will give you control over the dragon. If you are in danger, you can throw it out and turn your enemy into a dragon, or hold it tightly and pray to me. I will know your location and come over as fast as I can.”
Upon hearing this, the girl naturally nodded obediently.
"I see."
After giving Celestina a few more instructions, Bai Zhe tucked the Star Sword into his waistband and rode the evil dragon Fafnir, which he had summoned using his powers, from the balcony to leave Sheplon with Mordred.
With a speed approaching Mach 20, Bai Zhe and Mordred returned to the territory of the Knight Kingdom in just half a minute, leaving a huge white streak in the sky above the kingdom and the Knight Kingdom. Many people mistook it for a miracle and worshipped it.
On Fafnir's back, seeing that it had only been a moment's time before they had rushed back to the Knights Kingdom from the Kingdom, the black-haired dragon girl immediately grabbed Bai Zhe's hand and cheered excitedly.
"Wow, that was fast, Bai Zhe, hello..."
However, before Mordred could finish speaking, Bai Zhe placed his index finger against her cherry lips, causing the dragon girl to swallow her words.
"Shhh."
Immediately afterward, the black-haired dragon girl heard Bai Zhe say, "Never say the word 'fast' to a man, understand?"
Seeing the serious expression on Bai Zhe's face, Mordred nodded, looking completely bewildered.
Seeing this, Bai Zhe withdrew his index finger with satisfaction and looked down at the city.
"The letter said that this is where Linda was attacked."
Under Bai Zhe's will, Fafner flapped his wings and slowly descended from the sky.
The enormous size of the evil dragon not only stirred up storms and dust on the ground, but also caused the ground to tremble the moment it landed, making the knights who were trying to find the slightest clue on the ground feel as if they were facing a great enemy!
Many people drew their swords from their waists, while those riding on the dragon's back gripped the reins tightly.
Fortunately, the person traveling with this group of knights was Cosette.
As Sylvia's personal maid, the girl was naturally entrusted by the new king with the important task of hunting down the traces of the Holy Grail!
"Stop! This is His Majesty Bai Zhe, the husband of the new king and princesses!"
As the girl's shout rang out, many people finally snapped out of their fear.
Immediately afterwards, the girl hurriedly descended from the flying dragon to the ground, came before Bai Zhe, bowed to him and said, "I apologize, Your Majesty. These knights have never seen you before. Please forgive their rudeness."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe didn't care about these things. Instead, he asked Cosette, who had arrived earlier, "Have you found any clues left by the Holy Grail?"
Faced with Bai Zhe's question, the girl naturally told him all the information she had discovered.
"Only the clothes that the Holy Grail was carrying were left at the scene. It is likely that after being attacked, he fled to a nearby city under the protection of knights."
As he spoke, Cosette gestured to the knight beside her to take the clothes found at the scene and hand them to Bai Zhe, who was standing on the dragon's head.
Just then, Bai Zhe glanced at the black-haired dragon girl standing beside him, who was looking at the package with curiosity, and asked 197 with a mischievous smile, "Want to ask her?"
However, upon hearing this, Mordred actually asked about the package containing Linda's clothes.
"Were any conclusions reached?"
Seeing the black-haired dragon girl sniffing the scent of the package, Bai Zhe asked again.
Upon hearing this, Mordred immediately pointed in a direction and said to Bai Zhe, "Hmm... if we're talking about the aura above, that direction is stronger."
Upon seeing this, Cosette immediately flattered him, saying, "To be able to determine the Holy Grail's escape route even under such circumstances, you truly deserve to be called His Majesty the King of the Underworld."
Although this was something a normal dragon could do, a rainstorm that had just fallen that morning had diluted the smell at the scene, making it impossible for Cosette to use the dragon's sense of smell to determine the direction Linda had fled.
Faced with Cosette's compliments, the black-haired dragon girl naturally put her hands on her hips, a smug expression on her innocent face.
After obtaining Linda's whereabouts, Bai Zhe handed the package to Cosette and then said to the girl, "In that case, let's go ahead."
"Yes."
The next second, the enormous evil dragon took off again, creating a strong gust of wind on the ground. When everyone opened their eyes again, it had vanished without a trace, leaving only a white line in the sky as proof that it had been there.

Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Illegitimate Daughter of the Loreia Mon Family! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers!)
"With your strength, you cannot escape from me. Please surrender. I cannot bear to see anyone else get hurt!"
In the city of Kairon, three hundred miles from the capital, a blonde girl in golden armor rode a holy dragon, rampaging through the city and chasing after a girl protected by a group of knights.
On horseback, the lead knight held a petite girl with a haggard face in his arms and said with a bitter expression, "Damn it, we've been chasing her all night. I thought she would stop once we got to the city, but she actually broke through the city wall and broke in!"
Although she was exhausted from a night of chasing, she dared not loosen her grip on the reins even once.
"Captain, let us go and hold them off; at least we can buy you enough time!"
"Be careful, that woman is definitely not someone to mess with!"
"understand!"
